Simple solution:
The woman should be put in jail and the kids should be given up for adoption or put in foster care.
Moreover, the doctors who allowed this to happen should all be put in jail and have their medical licenses revoked.
And I wonder why California's about to default and be completely ****ed.
Given that no one violated any known law, jailing part would be pretty hard to implement, at least, in a civilized democratic country (might be doable in North Korea, I guess). Whether the doctors behave ethically, might be questioned, this might be a cause for passing some new laws (though I doubt any law prohibiting a healthy individual from giving birth would be ruled constitutional; restrictions on welfare might be another matter). But there seems to have been no crime committed.
What shocks me is that people are willing to propose jailing people who had committed no crime, violated no existing law - just because they dislike a certain legal behavior. You think something should not be legal - there is a political process to make it illegal, use it. But no person should go to prison merely for doing something that somebody else does not like, but that is not prohibited by law.
Reminds me a story, when some poor Soviet souls were caught buying/selling currency (I think it was a matter of 10 US grand or so). They were sentenced to 10 years in prison (maximum under the Soviet law of the time). Khruschev was mad: how could they get off so lightly! So they changed the law and had the guys shot for things that, when they did them, were not, even in theory, punishable by death. Good old USSR - but we are talking the US here, aren't we?
